"The Elements of Journalism" seems to be sparking a renewed national debate on the vital role of journalism in a free society and the professional standards that are required to effectively play that role.

It is remarkable for its honest portrait of American journalism circa the New Millenium. It is designed to be a primer for citizens, journalists and journalism students in the issues surrounding:
1) Ethics
2) Commercial Pressures
3) Techniques
4) The Future
And unlike most media-critic books, this one doesn't have a political chip on its shoulder. Nor does it take an arrogant tone, despite it's axiomatic nature.

In an age of nonjournalistic corporations gobbling up journalistic media and spitting it out as "infotainment," the articulation of these standards is more important than ever.

Therefore, everyone who aspires to become a journalist, who makes a living as a journalist, or who consumes journalism and wants to sharpen his or her critical skills should read this book.
